More than 100 trucks with food and humanitarian aid arrive in Ethiopia's conflict-hit Tigray for the first time in more than six weeks
In nearly 13 months, fighting has killed thousands, displaced more than 2 million and driven hundreds of thousands into famine-like conditions in Tigray, according to UN estimates.
Guterres also said UN flights between Tigray’s capital Mekelle and Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa had also restarted on Wednesday. Flights were suspended on October 22 after government airstrikes forced a humanitarian flight carrying 11 passengers to abandon its landing in Mekelle.The Tigray region has not received badly needed aid supplies including food, medicines and fuel since the Ethiopian military began hitting Mekelle with airstrikes on October 18.
However, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said none of the 157 trucks that reached Mekelle carried desperately needed fuel, which is essential to deliver humanitarian aid.Call for ceasefire
